In a battle between the North American Soccer League’s top two teams, and the only two Canadian squads, FC Edmonton fell just short against Ottawa Fury FC in a heartbreaking finish. FC Edmonton travelled north to Fort McMurray to host the Fury at the SMS Equipment Stadium on Sunday afternoon in a contest that went scoreless for 90 minutes. But late into stoppage time, Ottawa defender Rafael Alves hit a header off a Fury corner kick to knock the ball off the post and past Edmonton goalkeeper Matt Van Oekel to snag his third goal of the season.
